Show Off Your New Watch

My Christmas watch came in. First time having one of these, and now I fully understand what all the fuss is about.

Rubber straps tend to give me a rash, so now I'm searching for an appropriate strap for it.

I have one of these. It looks awesome on a ton of Natos. I would also highly recommend a Borealis Blue rubber strap. Currently I put mine on a Seiko monster bracelet, although I don't wear it very often.

@AIA - gulf racing strap. Nice touch.

Which brand of Gulf NATO is that? I’ve been thinking about getting one.

Another delivery today. Yes, that is 3 watches in 2 days. If Amazon keeps its end of the bargain, a fourth and final (for now) should arrive tomorrow.

Orient Sun and Moon v2 from in blue Creation Watches for $164 after a 15 percent discount with code CHRISTMAS. The code is still active.

It's just a cheap one from an eBay seller in France. There's definitely better ones out there, but this one is fine with me.

I ended up getting one from NATO Straps Co. They are having a 10 percent off sale (use code MERRY18), and shipping is free in the USA. I considered purchasing from Cheapest NATO Straps, but the delivery from Sweden to Houston takes an extraordinarily long time.

I thought it would be a good alternate strap for my newly arrived Seiko SSC667 (that is still available from Amazon for $149.99).

I've got one of these incoming for Christmas (actually have it, but am being an adult and waiting to open the package on Christmas since my wife is giving it to me). I ordered and installed one of Erika's MN Swick straps before giving it to the Mrs. to wrap, and it looks fantastic.

Orient Bambino FAC00008W0. Picked this one up for $93.50 from Creation Watches. The strap is a bit stiff and the case is on the large size for a dressy watch but otherwise its tough to find this kind of goodness for this little coin. It's still available for $97 on their site with promo code CHRISTMAS.

Just received this Hamilton Khaki Titanium today. I bought it with the last 15% eBay discount.

I set you up for that one. I think I'll join the straightman's union.

Citizen NH8350 arrived yesterday. It's actually a gift, but I couldn't help trying it on Quality control....

This deal was posted on the other forum, so I don't recall who posted it. If you're here, thank you.

Ended up about $82 inc postage I think, from AreaTrend - who have always been great. Unfortunately it appears to be no longer available.

Really nice watch though.

My Glycine Golden Eye just arrived. I picked this up for $298 when eBay had their last 15% off sale.
